week with Los Angeles so far
In front the ponnant could be

their ten series thus far and ap
pear likely to pummel seventh
place Seattle this week further
to expand a 121 game lead.
Last week the Angels were
at their best in deflating San
Francisco six games out of
seven.
The Ralnlera laboriously
pulled ahead of the cellar outfit,
Sacramento, by winning five out
of seven games but the Seat

Angels. Tho series opens tomor

Second-place San Francisco
will have a tough battle with
Portland this week. Five weeks
ago Portland made PCL history
of a sort by winning a series with
the Angels. Since then the
Beavers have risen from sixth to
third and now are driving to
wipe out the four and a half
games separating them from tho
runner-up Seals. The series
opens today.
Sixth-place Hollywood opens

tonight, and at San Diego the

New Sensation in Women's
Golf Is Catherine Fox
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO, June 29 () The
newest sensation in women's
golf is 18-year-old Catherine Fox,
who, as just a tot, built sand
castles in the bunkers of. the
Kidderminister Golf club in
England.
Born in a house on that course,
where her father was a pro,
Catherine was brought up with
a putter in her hand instead of a
doll. She was only two years
old when she came to this coun
try with her parents, and was
only 10 when she played in her
first golf tournament.
Catherine's father, Jack Fox,
who was pro at Leven, Scotland,
before going to England, chewed
up several cigars during anxious
moments yesterday when she
fired a 78 over the Glen Oaks
links to tie with 21-year-old Ann
Casey of Mason City, Iowa, for
runner-up medalist honors in the
women's western open.

Major Clubs
To Play War
Relief Tilts
Wednesday First of Two
Days n Which Receipts
Are Given to National Fund
By JUDSON BAILEY
LAssoclated Press Sports Writer
It going to be a great relict
for tho major league clubs to
start another round of interscc
tional play tomorrow.
This is because tomorrow is
the first of two "war relief" days
designated by Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Landis with
all clubs turning over their en
tire receipts to the National War
Fund.
Last year each club played a
pair of games for the army and
navy. Relief societies and some
of them were given haphazard
promotion by the clubs con
cerned. Nevertheless, the 18
games, played on various dates
and under conditions, netted
$506,830.30.
This year baseball has profited
from the experience in 1942 and
has mobilized for two big re
lief days, June 30 and July 28,
instead of scattering their dates
and the whole show is being
gilded with gaudy side-features.
All the shows will be either
doubleheaders or twilight for
night games.
These games will set off a
busy two-week program for both
leagues with a heavy holiday
schedule awaiting all clubs this
weekend and the annual all
star game coming up at Philadel
phia two weeks from tonight.
As is customary this year,
most clubs had a two-day inter
mission before embarking on the
East-West series. The only ac
tivity in the majors yesterday
was a night game at Pittsburgh
jwlth the Pirates pummcling the
Cincinnati Reds 7-1.
Whirlaway Retires Graecef ully
From Big Money Racing to His
Picturesque Kentucky Pastures
CHICAGO, June 29 VP)
Whirlaway is going back home
to those picturesque Kentucky
pastures to live in peaceful re
tirement until death.
The racing career of the big
gest money winner in the his
tory of the sport is ended. With
in two weeks he will be shipped
to the white-fenced Calumet
Farm in Kenfucky owned by
Warren Wright of Chicago to
rest completely until next May
when he will be used for breed
ing. In another two years his
sons and daughters may be car
rying on his great tradition of
victory.
The decision to retire the
famed five-year-old chestnut colt
with the long flowing tail that
almost touches the ground was
reached in a sympathetic under-
cap In an automobile accident,
made a grand comeback with an
even par 76 to win the medal.
In the first round of match play
today she was paired with Mrs.
Opal S. Hill of Kansas City, Mo
the veteran who captured the
open in 1935 and 1936 and who
qualified in another sparkling
comeback with a respectable 86.
Miss Fox drew Eileen Stulb of
Augusta, Ga who got in with
an 87 yesterday, and Miss Casey
went against Kay Byrne of Rye,
N. Y who carded 86.
